Professor/Student connections:
When I first got to Carleton, I was so nervous about being around new educators. I went to a very small school for my entire middle/high school time and so I had very close relationships with all of the teachers. Going from there, I was nervous about what to expect at college. I think because I spent many years with the same people, I became very comfortable sharing my academic work with them.
